Is there a way to use the data audit settings to write an error to an audit log when a mandatory input field is missing in an XML file? So far I can only generate an error at the Document and Global levels. If I attempt to track anything below those levels, I get an empty DataLog section in the audit log. Is the behavior any different in 8.1/8.2? What if an XSD is used directly rather than a type tree?

Thanks,

If it's just one field or a couple of fields that you want to check and make sure they are mandatory then i would simply make them optional in the type tree and tehn check if they are present or not on the output rules and if absent use the FAIL function to force the message to fail. Use a meaning full error message in the FAIL and then you can pick that error message from the Audit Log.
hope that helps.
